Loren

Loren is a Latin-derived name, an anglicized variant of Laurentius, meaning from Laurentum, an ancient city near Rome whose name is traditionally linked to the laurel tree. The laurel was a symbol of honor and victory in classical antiquity, lending the name an association with distinction and achievement. Loren functions as both a masculine and feminine given name in English, with the feminine use partly influenced by American actress Lauren Bacall, whose stage name popularized the Lauren spelling. Related forms include Lawrence, Laurent, Lorenzo, and Laura.
